​​​​​​​​​​​Welcome to the Lancer Parent Organization (LPO) Homepage!

Every Lafayette Family is a Member!

The LPO's mission is to promote the welfare and education of Lafayette students, support the school in improving education, raise funds for programs and materials to enhance education & foster relationships between students, parents and LHS teachers and staff. The monies raised by your generous donations have funded and will continue to fund a variety of programs, such as:

In addition, the LPO sponsors three major fundraisers throughout the year:

Freshman class - Carnival

Sophomore class - Trivia Night

Junior class - Taste of West County

Funds raised from each of these events stay with the class that runs it and are used to finance that class' senior year activities, including Memory Maker Events and Senior Celebration, an alcohol and drug-free all-night celebration following graduation. See below for a brief description of each event and go to your child's class web page for related news and activities (as it becomes available). We encourage you to join the fun and make the most of your child's high school years as an involved Lafayette parent.

In addition to information about class activities, you will also find key forms, meeting minutes, treasury and contact information on these LPO webpages. LPO meetings are held monthly. If you have any questions about any event, please contact one of the LPO board members listed below.
